What an absolute southern belle….Glad East Tennessee can be on inside edition for something other than a guy holding up the papa johns off cedar bluff in Knoxville or when the the police let the lady basically die without doing anything…..more good stories from East Tennessee please
Its good to see more women getting into heritage railroading, train have always been traditionally a mans world but I know several wonen who love trains, and especially when it comes to heritage railroading we need all the help we can get, it may be working in the shop maintaining the locomotives and rolling stock, Running the trains, or even simply working the ticket counter, one of the biggest things that's needed is workers, it take alot to keep the old engines moving and alot of care needs to be put into the work especially since if someone screws up the engine may blow up.
Most of the more famous lines that operated those have switched to either diesel electrics or electric locomotives. The remaining steam locomotives in service will be replaced soon...
No they don't? I have never heard that. I'm a gal, and I love old-fashioned trains. I'd prefer riding in them as opposed to driving them, but I still like them.
Not that I care at all, but considering the park is owned by a woman, it is sad that she is the first, and it took so long. 💐Perhaps interest in train engineering is not the most popular career choice.🌸Good for her.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Did you ever think that maybe no other women have applied? Or that the others weren't considered "qualified" enough? Dollywood being owned by a woman has nothing to do with that.
As I’ve always said, these aren’t just machines, they’re alive.
no they're not they're glorified tea kettles!
@@yeoldeseawitch lollll
@@jackiecastillo2484 electric locomotive ftw!
Steam ftw. Y’all know why

Her passion & love for the train 🚂 is awesome!!!
My passion is to work for FPC, first piedmont Corp and to be a water tower demolitionist

It was warm my heart to see old steam locomotives still in service
How about big boy 😅

You go girl!
If you want to see some old steam equipment, give the Nevadan Northern Railway a visit in Ely, Nevada.
Love Dollywood!
The first engineer what a history
Very cool ‼️🚂👍🙂
Nice! 😃 I love this! Beautiful & country! 🤠
i was just here!! the train is phenomenal and i'm sure she is a great conductor ❤️
Ohh wow *such* an accomplishment 😂😂😂😂😂
If you’re working for postwar Locomotive, I know that China still has a large amount of steam locomotives for sale.
no they don't anymore, they're all claimed by museums now, they were surplus 15 years ago.
Most of the more famous lines that operated those have switched to either diesel electrics or electric locomotives. The remaining steam locomotives in service will be replaced soon...
And you know this how ?
That is not a train, That’s a Locomotive
Wow Well done 👏
Omg that's epic, let's gooo! And omg gorgeous steamy!
Another glass ceiling has been shattered!
How awesome 🤩
I would love to work there but I live in California

That’s cool 😀
Coming here this summer
She's so fun!
CHOO CHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAY TO BE !!😁
Just now? Never before.? Throughtout human history.? Oh maybe 1st in dollywood
Just at Dollywood. There actually have been women train engineers since the 70s
First female train driver
I went to dollywood on my vacation with my family. this is the first time I see a female become a train engineer
Wow wonderful but here in india we got women driving a train
Interesting
She's so damn 😍
And they say girls aren’t into trains. HA!! What do they know?
No they don't? I have never heard that. I'm a gal, and I love old-fashioned trains. I'd prefer riding in them as opposed to driving them, but I still like them.
Interesting story, Good for her, but I wonder how much she gets paid per year.
You’re gonna need more than a seatbelt lol
👏👏👏
Steam engines is going to make a comeback. Watch my words become reality
Do you guys think anybody would care about first male anything?
CHOO CHOOO!!!!
Women 🚂 so cool go women's 💪🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
No footage of her actually driving it, just pulling the whistle and playing with brake lever 🤣
steam locomotives not steam trains
🌟.
👍
This must be why there have been so many train derailments!
Why was this considered newsworthy?
All I see is another Train Engineer
That's technically a good thing. Shows that gender means nothing
Good thing it’s not regulated
Does she ge trained
Im honestly surprised its not some trans person...but congrats for her. a W for women
lol trans people live rent free in your head
@@Seek1878I think the comment is just referencing the current slew of awards given to them in sports and beauty pageants.

Tucker carlson's probably calling it the "woke train" now lol
@@Seek1878 maybe we will get a calendar of train girls!
@@d20audioediting Id buy one for my brother in law. Hes a retired CSX Engineer, 40 yrs. Ill bet even his Mrs would approve.
What a non story!
Why would I care about the gender of the train engineer
Sex* Male/female = sex.
She’s pretending to be a conductor on the rails 🚂
Women?
What a waste, i feel bad for the train, i know damn well it aint gonna last a month or a week. Rip Lil train
probably gonna blow up cuz she forgot to put enough water in the boiler
Who cares
